Harry Potter #5

In the book Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Harry receives a vision in a dream that his Godfather Sirius is trapped in the basement of the wizard equivalent to the capitol. Harry is supposed have a mental bond with wizard villain of villains, Voldemort. Although this is true, Voldemort tested this and used it to his advantage, making Harry see what him (Voldemort) wanted him to see.

I think that Harry is simply ignoring the important facts. The headmaster Dumbledore has him trained in closing his mind out to other sources, and Harry SHOULD be practicing. Harry's had his guard off while sleeping, and Voldemort is shoving the images into his mind, because he knows his effect on Harry's thoughts. Sirius is Harry's only real relative that he really feels related to in a personal way, so of course Harry would come to his aid.

I'd really like to end this response by explaining that Harry is an idiot. First of all, how could Voldemort acquire Sirius so easily, and why would Sirius be at the ministry in the first place. He is a really good dueler, who wouldn't have succumbed to Voldemort without a fight. The Order (of the Phoenix) would have come to Sirius's aid already, so basically Harry fell for the simplest trick in the book, the make-harry-think-that-voldemort-has-sirius-because-harry-is-brainless trick.

  1. The first sentence of your last paragraph made me laugh out loud. You have me convinced...but what do we do with the fact that he is 15 years old?
